Northern Ireland football memorabilia 1960

Has anyone seen something similar as I would love to know how the footballer acquired these ie whether it was a personal piece of memorabilia?
Every piece of memorabilia has a story to tell, some more easy to explain than others

Not sure I can add much. france B defeated Northern Ireland B 5-0 in Annecy on March 16th 1960.

I expect all members of the touring party were given the item as a souvenir. It was common in those days to give a gift of some sort with the match details engraved.

I'm not aware of a programme for the game and would certainly be very interested if one exists. They drew 1-1 in Belfast the previous November and the programme for that game is quite common.
